As you may have noticed this morning Tom was back for his short time off and that means I’m back to my normal times. Thanks to everyone that said I did a great job. I enjoyed the challenge of the morning show, but am glad to be back with my Swap Shop peeps!

The good news is (was) I got to sleep in this morning all the way to 6:30. 3 hours more than I got up to that point this week. I have done my share of morning radio work. 18 years of getting up around 3:30 to get to the station and get ready for a show. I gotta hand it Tom, he does a great job every morning, then is here until 3 everyday doing other work. I bailed at 1 every afternoon and collapsed into a nap coma for an hour or more each afternoon.

My dogs were happy with these hours since they got to share a nap with me in the big bed daily. My wife enjoyed the hours since I was home to cook before she got home. Heck that was one of my big selling points, I enjoyed cooking and was always home to make dinner! I’m afraid that since my hours changed she might want a refund . . . . . . . . .
